2021 Jean-Paul & Benoit Droin Chablis Premier Cru

Due to the greatly reduced quantities of the 2021 harvest, this premier cru bottling is blend of the Vaucoupin and Cote de Lechet sites.

Other Reviews....
A discreet application of wood sets off the more elegant aromas of citrus-tinged green apple and maritime scents. The rich, delicious and relatively refined medium-weight flavors exude a discreet minerality on the very dry, moderately austere and lingering finale. I like the underlying tension, and this has enough development potential to repay 5 to 8 years of keeping. Drink through 2027+.

The 2021 Chablis 1er Cru is a blend of Côte de Léchet and Vaucoupin because the yields were too small to fill the press entirely. Crushed stone and light undergrowth scents on the nose, this blossoms in the glass. The palate is balanced, cohesive and has fine acidity with a touch of spice that is accentuated with bitter lemon on the persistent finish. Lovely. Drink 2023-2033.

A blend of Côte de Léchet and Vaucoupin. The wine seems to display the nose of Léchet with the stones and lemon tautness from Vaucoupin on the palate. Really interesting wine with depth and zest. Drink from 2025-2029.
